Please show me in the NFHS/NCAA Rules BookS where you ignore the foul committed in Plays B and C. There is no advantage clause in basketball like there is in soccer; except when Coach B commits a technical foul while A1 is on a one-nothing fast bread (see the NFHS Casebook). To have a "no call" (oh how I dislike that phrase) in Plays B and C is a classic example of "seeing the whole play" (I also dislike this phrase.) is just not allowed by the rules.

Mark, advantage/disadvantage is crucial to basketball officiating. You can't use the rule book for everything. The rule book should not be your basis as when to call fouls. Foul calling is an artform that involves philosophy, judgement, experience, watching tapes, going to camps, and listening to teachers of the game. It is not something that is black and white. I would have no calls in b and c unless the contact is severe or violent.
